Been away from UA-cam since a while but stayed subscribed to your channel…Did a full view of your video which was very interesting and so beautiful …seeing Mount Everest must of been a amazing feeling . I don’t spend much time on UA-cam no more …I have many others thing to do . Wishing you both also a happy new year 2025 🍾🥂🎆 Take care Hélène et Serge 🧑🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎁⚜️🌈
@@SergeCousineau Merci! Merry Christmas Serge! Yes, this was an amazing experience! I traveled with friends for 2 weeks in India, then we went to Nepal for this trek. You’re right, it was very special to see Mount Everest in person, at least the very top, and to see so many other famous and brilliant peaks. The Nepali people are wonderful too. I haven’t traveled much the last 5 years which made this extra special. Please say hello to Hélène for me 💕💕 Thanks so much for the visit, so happy to hear from you and know you’re well! 😄🤗⭐🎄🎁 Best wishes for a very Happy 2025! 🎆🎆🎆 Jen
Great hike and place. Beautiful mount Everest. Like # 91. Excellent video and presentation Jennifer. Wonderful photos. Lovely sunny day and weather. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.
Awesome trek. You had some fantastic weather. No clouds and clear views of Everest and adjacent peaks. So beautiful up there too. Hotel Everest had a great view. I would be a bit scared to cross that bridge too with all the traffic on it. I would have waited too. Well done. You are doing great with the climb and elevation gains. Awesome! Take care and have a great day.
Awesome!! Did you have a UA-cam watch-a-thon today, lol! Thanks for watching all these vids! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I give you 4 Gold Stars! I hope you enjoyed seeing the mountains and what the trail is like. We had fantastic weather during the trek- some afternoons got cloudy, but almost every morning was clear and sunny. I had heard so much about the Everest View Hotel, it was awesome to be there, extra awesome to have clear views! We got views of Everest quite a few times, but you really see how it is a giant among giants up there. Hi to Kristy! You too, take care and have a great day and Happy New Year 2025 celebration! ☀️🏔️🇳🇵👍 Jen
The food must take on a larger pleasure with a hike like this. Pretty good trail although of course steep. That valley bridge pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing the awesome Everest adventure. Cheers 👍 and onto the next in this sequence
@@thatplace1 Good morning! It was an amazing experience all around! We had great weather which made the trekking all the more enjoyable. Seeing the sunlight on these tall peaks was inspiring. The food was good and fresh all along the way- we ate vegetarian and limited the fried foods too. With the high elevation I wanted to eat simply. Thanks for the great support- Cheers! Wishing you a joyful New Year!! - Jen
Breathtaking scenery Jennifer, absolutely amazing experience that must be to be there in person. Thanks for sharing with us, and be safe there. 🙂 Warm greetings from Phang Nga, Thomas
WOW what a trek Jennifer!! Up in the clouds!!The bridge would make me feel dizzy but also must be so cool!! The terrace garden is so interesting to see! Love all the trees! Goats are amazing! Id slip off the rocks! LOL!! You had a great time!!! Merry Christmas!
Hi Brenda! I'm sure you would be okay and Not slip off the rocks! You'd get used to the bridges too- the first one was the hardest :) Isn't it great to see all the pack animals and the Brown Goats! I loved seeing what the environment is like at different elevations. The people who live along the trek are wonderful!! You too- Merry Christmas- I'm sure you'll have such a fun time with Conner. Hi to Chris too!!
Very beautiful sharing, dear. The view is so stunning. I can't believe there are many people trek up to the base camp now. Really amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers. Really like the nature.
Amazing mountains, yoga retreat center and hotel. Stunning view from the hotel on the mountains. Thanks for showing us around. Fantastic video. Wishing you a blessed sunday. Like nr 95 👍👌🙏🍀🛸💫💚🐬🎉
Thanks John! Isn’t that a great place for a Yoga Retreat! Inspiring views of Everest … when the weather is clear … plus the other nearby giants! 💙💙💙 Thanks for joining me! All the best from Washington! 😄 Jen
I am blown away by the amount of beauty that you presented here! What a great episode, I believe that you enjoy every second and you will only be aware of everything when you return home and when your emotions settle down! 👏👏
Isn't it special to see how the Nepali people live high the the Himalayas! I really enjoyed seeing their farm fields and animals and how their communities are close together. I think you'd be fine on the suspension bridges, especially after you cross the first one! Big thanks!! Jen
Jennifer, stunning conditions for your acclimatisation hike - slowly slowly is the way to do it👍 Loved the cow bell symphony🎶🎶 Well worth the hike to the Everest Hotel for those views of the highest mountains in the world 👍 I thought your guide for the morning was a really cool guy😊 Lovely views coming back down into Namche. Cool to let Steve have some of those cool views👍 Careful timing and you had that big bridge to yourself and those spinning prayer wheels were very cool👍 Another great couple of days of the big adventure.
Hi and thanks so much Gerry! Yes, slow was the way to go, for sure! Sunil was our porter that went with me that morning, yes, he is a great guy. Doesn’t speak much English, and I don’t speak any Nepali, but we communicated just fine. We had some fresh peanuts and a cold drink while we rested on the patio soaking up the breathtaking views. Each day was special with new views and little moments with local people. Great to hear from you, thanks again! Hope you have a fun weekend! 😄 Jen 🏔️🏔️🏔️
This is outstanding section of the Everest Base Camp trek including some of the highest peaks in the world. What a feeling it is to be at an altitude of almost 4000 m, with the majestic peaks of the Himalayas rising above you. This is not just a trek, but a spiritual and visual experience 👍❤️
Thanks so much Vedrana! You’re so right! Trekking in the Himalayas is a spiritual journey- very inspiring… and humbling to see these grand peaks come into view before us! I loved learning the names! 👌 😉❤️🏔️🇳🇵
The iconic Everest View Hotel with the hot ginger tea and some biscuits ~ beautiful memory we made. You have captured the mountains beautifully. You would not like us since we too love taking all those crazy selfies and videos in the middle of the suspension bridges. LOL! Thanks for the share, my friend!
Hahaha! I wish we could have stayed longer at the Everest View Hotel- it was so sunny and we had amazing views that day out on the porch! I loved seeing Everest of course, and wa very impressed with all the nearby peaks as well. Don’t you just love Ama Dablam! 😉😄 Thanks, Jen 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🏔️🏔️🏔️
@@ChristianPaulPhotography Hi again- thanks for taking the time to watch Christian! The views were great the first few days, but as we climbed above tree line the Wow factor really set in. This Monastery is very culturally significant to the Sherpa people. We had a brief tour, but no cameras were allowed. I hope you can plan a trek here too!! 👌👍🏔️🏔️ Jen 😄
*"Such an epic journey! Days 4 & 5 must be filled with stunning views and incredible experiences. Can't wait to see the adventure unfold in Namche Bazaar and Tengboche! 🏔✨"*
Hi Bryan - I loved the views of Everest and the other mountain peaks - so impressive. I think of it as seeing giants among giants- you’re close enough to Everest that you can’t see the whole mountains! Once we got above tree line we finished with the suspension bridges- they’re not too bad once you’ve crossed a few!! Big thanks! Merry Christmas 😄🎄🎁☃️ Jen
More great views there Jennifer, as you ascended what must have been a rather arduous but inspirational hike up to Tengboche. Very wise move , waiting for an uncrowded bridge crossing moment, prior to arriving at those very unique water powered, spinning prayer wheels. I'll bet that your simple little room provided a well deserved rest after another vigorous climb. You're energy and determination is amazing ; I sure wouldn't be able to do that. 🌄
You're very kind, thank you! The whole journey was quite inspirational for me. I loved seeing the prayer flags and prayer rocks and the various monasteries along the way. You are passing through the Nepali people's neighborhoods and farms and religious centers. Yes, the rooms were quite comfortable, especially considering how remote we were in the mountains. Well, if you can't go yourself, you're very welcome to come along with me!! Big thanks! :) - Jen
Hi! Haven’t heard from you for awhile! How are you? O yes, the Himalayas are wonderful, I highly recommend a visit. 👌👍🏔️🏔️ Thanks for joining us! 😄 Jen
@@Dyan_Eckert Lol- yes, the elevation gain is probably the biggest factor in this trek. Adding in a couple days and taking our time made it easier!! Thanks 🙌🙌👌🇳🇵❤️
So many interesting things to see along the way. I thought those spinning prayer wheels were beautiful. You got some great shots of everest before the clouds rolled in. Looks like a nice place to stay.
The villages and views are really interesting, thanks Sarah! It was fun seeing the mountains on the map, then trying to match to which ones we were seeing. I enjoyed seeing the spinning prayer wheels too! You get a real feeling for the culture here as you’re trekking. Thanks! 🙌🙌🇳🇵🇳🇵
Gracias! Thank you! O yes, these mountains are beautiful! I loved seeing Mount Everest plus all the other tall giants! Gracias mi amigo! Feliz Navidad!
Many thanks! It was wonderful to see the villages and mountains… a special way of life there! Thanks my friend - hope you had a great holiday! Won’t be long now til 2025! 🎆🎆🎆 - Jen
Everywhere you point the camera, grandeur and beauty! So cool that you saw those brown mountain goats too! 😀 Sounds scary that one of the djo got loose and ran across the bridge! I wouldn't want to get bumped on one of those steep trails or bridges.
It was quite a surprise and startling to those on the bridge! Fortunately the bridges are really sturdy and the animals cross every day, most of the time with no issues. Whew, we crossed paths with lots of animals on the main trail, they taught us early to stay to the inside. The animals weren’t interested in us at all and kept moving nicely, unless there was grass to nibble on, lol. I loved seeing the brown mountain goats - I hadn’t noticed them at first and walked right by- good thing Hari knew where to look! The mountains are pristine, quite impressive! Thanks T 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️☀️🇳🇵
Brilliant capturing of the views. I am slow mo watching one video at a time and enjoying them. On this day, I didn’t get to see Mt. Everest from any spot because of cloud cover.
@@tRAVel.wIthRAVI Ah, that was unfortunate- the clouds can get quite thick! These mountains are so tall, so amazing! A great trekking experience! Thanks 😄👌
Thanks my friend! The Himalayas are breathtaking mountains! It was very special to see them in person. 👌 Have a Happy New Year 2025! All the best from Washington! 😄🎆🎆🎆
Thanks Arnstein! A challenging trek, and well worth the effort! Yes, a wonderful experience. You too, have a great upcoming weekend, and safe travels wherever you may go! 👌😄🌏
You're making us want to go do this. 😂 There are so many pretty views. Love the photo of you and the lady who you bought something from. What a great trek so far! ❤ We're looking forward to the next video! Hotel Everest View was so awesome. 🏔
@@TheWanderingWulfs Hi Rachel- I hope you guys can do this trek! I loved seeing Everest and the other peaks in person. Very inspiring. Plus I loved the small interactions I had with the local Nepali people. I bought a bracelet and water from this woman, she was so happy to visit, so warm and friendly! If you go I’m sure you’ll love it. Can’t promise good weather though - o my, they had 2-3 feet of snow at Base Camp the week before we went. Those trekkers there on those days couldn’t go all the way to EBC. Fortunately we had sunshine!! 👌☀️☀️☀️😄 Jen
Hello Jody- thanks! So great to hear form you! I just saw your video, very sad for you. Please reach out and I'll come see you, we can do something together if you like. You've got all your friends here on YT supporting you and here to help you get through this. You're not alone! Jen
What an amazing adventure and hike you had. I have to admit, I'm a little envious. The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning views in every direction. The views from your Everest Base Camp trek is just incredible, quaint villages, the iconic suspension bridge, and those awe-inspiring vistas of Everest and its towering neighbors. It's something you'll carry with you forever, Jennifer. You're standing among some of the highest peaks in the world. Wishing you a fantastic week ahead and a very Merry Christmas.
Hi and big thanks Gasper! You’re so right, it’s a very special experience to see these giants in person, and see what it’s like for the people who call this place home! The trek is doable if it’s in your heart to visit, challenging, but doable! You do get the feeling that you’re on top of the world! 😄🏔️💚🏔️💚 You too, have a great week and a Happy New Year 2025! - Jen
Hi Max! Yea, I think the elevation gains are the most challenging part of this particular trek! I had practiced hiking at around 10,000’ here in the States and wasn’t sure how it would feel there in the Himalayas. We modified the usual trek a bit to allow a couple more days and it worked for me, whew! We had some pretty amazing weather - loved seeing Everest in person. Big thanks my friend! 👌🏔️🏔️🏔️
Pretty hard to beat those views!! Wow. Top of the world. Great phone call too hahaha. Thanks for sharing this major bucket list hike. Worth the trip. Stunning 360. Take care.
Hey Alex- thanks, Bucket List for sure!! Wasn't that fun when we reached Steve- I told him later that I recorded the call and he's making a cameo appearance in the video!! lol. My friend Sri was paying for roaming and had signal- so we gave it a try- that was amazing. Yep, Top of the World!! Big thanks, Jen!!
What an epic journey, Jen. That is a bucket-list adventure for me for sure. The views of Everest were stunning! I hope you're having a great holiday season!
Thanks Daryl! I hope you can trek to Base Camp too! It truly is worth the effort! We were blessed with sunshine and spectacular views of the Peaks. I learned the names as we were trekking - maybe others already are familiar with them - each one is very special. I can’t believe we were so close to China too! I’d love to go back and explore more. Hope you had a lovely day yesterday - wishing you and your family a very Happy 2025! 😄✨🎆🎆🎆 Jen
O yes, sorry I haven’t visited with you for awhile… busy on the trip, now busy catching up at home, lol! How are you guys? We really enjoyed visiting India and Nepal. Thanks for watching and saying hi!! 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️ Jen
Those snow capped mountains are amazing to see. The views are amazing as you ascend. Looks like you had a colder day. How did you go with altitude sickness Jennifer? those swing bridges are scary. Loved your little room. Were there days that your nose just drips because of the cold air? Loving this adventure Jennifer. 🤠🙏🏼👍🏼♥♥
Hi again! Thankfully I didn't get altitude sickness and didn't need to take medication. Last summer I hiked in Utah as much as possible at 10,000' to 12,000' feet and practiced adapting and what it feels like. It didn't last until Nepal, but I think it helped knowing how to adapt. Plus you have to drink lots of water to help. The suspension bridges are so tall, and at first scary, but once you go, if you focus and it's not too busy, you just go on steady and before long you get to the other side! Yes, most people get a bit of a cough and sometimes runny nose too. You have to bring all your own toilet paper and kleenex, hahaha. Thanks Jospeh!! :) Jen
Just wow. Everything about this trek is wow. And Everest is getting closer and more magnificent and awe inspiring with every step. Looks like you were really going for it Jen and getting fitter as you went. Loved the fact that you went up to the hotel that first morning to get the view of Everest. Those suspension bridges look to be getting more dodgy each one you go over 😨. Really enjoyed following along again.
Hi Dave and Sue- thanks so much for following along on the trek! Yep, the suspensions bridges can be a bit challenging when they’re busy with people and the pack animals! Good thing there wasn’t a rush and I could wait before I crossed that time. 😆 Isn’t it breathtaking to see Everest as a trekker! Very humbling - thanks!! 👌😄☀️🏔️🇳🇵❤️ Jen
The views of the mountains were amazing. It would be neat to spend a few days at that yoga retreat. The mountain villages are so amazing and it would be enjoyable just to wander the streets and explore. It seems so odd to have so many helicopters flying about but I guess it's the easiest way to get around. Lol, love Steve's assessment of Everest! Such an amazing place to hike and see. Wow, the animal getting loose and running on the bridge sounds like a bit of a scary moment - suspension bridges can be a bit frightening even at the best of times. Hope you had a good Christmas, Jennifer!
@@DonnaTaibossigai Good morning Donna- hope you guys had a great Christmas too! The Yoga Retreat is in an amazing location- sure would be beautiful to spend some time there. I loved having blue skies and seeing so many of the tall mountain peaks. Ama Dablam is one of my new favorites. When the weather was clear, it seemed like lots of helicopters were moving goods up to the highest elevation villages. I think most trekkers and climbers go up on foot. I got used to crossing the suspension bridges, but that was a scary, unexpected moment for sure. The animal got spooked out there- thankfully no one got hurt! Great to have you join us, thanks so much for watching! 👌☀️🏔️🇳🇵❤️🤗 Jen
Hi, Jen! Watching your hike to the Everest View Hotel, I was a little worried because of your stuffy nose, your raw voice and your deep breathing. But you had recovered quickly and performed very well the second day up to the monastery. The weather was fine and the views were breathtaking. Crossing the bridge with so many people walking in both directions and with the cattle seems to be an adventure. You were patient enough to wait for the right moment.👍 Thanks for sharing and have a great time, Werner
Thanks so much Werner!! Yes, I did get a stuffy nose and dry throat, thank goodness I got enough to eat and plenty of water and recovered quickly, thanks!! I loved the views up at the Everest View Hotel- if I could go back I would try to stay there a couple nights!! Crossing the bridge when the cattle were there was too exciting :) lol. Thankfully I wasn't in a rush and could wait to cross, whew!! It's always a pleasure to hear from you. I hope you're enjoying the holidays... Steve and I made Christmas cookies tonight and listened to some of our favorite carols. Thanks, Jen :)
@JenniferLupine , sounds great! Have fun!...We receive visits from our children and grandchildren. They will stay with us over the holidays. There will be a bit of a “Griswolds” feeling. ;-)
The video of the Everest Base Camp trek is incredible! A wonderful experience, with stops at Namche Bazaar and Tengboche, offering stunning views and a real sense of adventure. The journey looks challenging but rewarding.. wow views around... a truly unforgettable experience for you Jen! We hope to do it again one day..😍44
Hi, thanks guys! Yes, as you know, the trek is challenging - but the beauty and experience are well worth the effort! It’s a community experience too… seeing the local people and local porters on the trail as well as visiting with fellow trekkers! I loved seeing Mount Everest!! Big thanks, Jen 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️
Definitely cool Jennifer 🏔️👌🏻🤠 Just being amongst these Himalayan giants 🏔️🏔️ must of been almost spiritual ! Cool side hike up the the hotel a day well spent I’d say Superb stuff 🙏🏼🤠 Very best wishes Simon
Hi Simon- it sure was impressive and spiritual to be among these amazing giants! I loved having time to ponder them with clear views of so many from the Hotel patio. One of my new favorites is Ama Dablam, which we got to see for several days while trekking. The trek is really a wonderful adventure- thanks!! Happy Holidays- Merry Christmas!! Jen 🏔🏔🏔
@ yes Ama is very technical (way above my pay grade lol 😂 🏔️)I bet it was quite amazing to sit and look (sometimes when hiking we don’t look enough (I don’t at least)) but have great memories of rocks and boots 🥾 But to sit and look at the Himalayas with a coffee ☕️🏔️ oh boi 🙏🏼👌🏻🤠 Best wishes to Steven and your self for the holidays 🎄
@ We could see Ama quite well the next few days- and there was even one brand of bottled water that was Ama Dablam water- (we bought water all along the way.) Super cool, you must be much more familiar with all the other peaks there than I am. I didn’t realize there is at least one other Base Camp trek too. 👌🙌🙌
Jen you did amazing, we are so impressed with your achievement and so surprised to know what the journey to base camp looks like. We thought it so strange but great that they had shops like Columbia there in the mountains 😃Bet that loose animal was scary... Loved your hotel room with the view of the monastery. Those bridges are something else though, wow ! Again we watched on the big tv and now commenting on my phone so may haveforgot something we were impressed with ! Fantastic viewing, we loved this 👏👍~ Anna
Thanks so much Anna and Alf- I really appreciate you watching and sharing your enthusiasm for the mountains and people! I was surprised to see the Columbia store too! This village is very busy in April and May- when the big Expeditions are heading up to Base Camp to attempt to summit Everest. This is the last place where they can pick up supplies they may have forgotten or realize they need. There are other trekking routes too, besides going to EBC, that come through this area. O yes, when the dzo red tanks dropped off and he ran through the people to get off the bridge, we all gasped a bit! One has to stay fully alert! Everyone was okay though, thank goodness. Our guide Hari told us not to cross when the animals were there, but I guess you can’t help if they start out behind and follow you. Each time I had to cross, I just waited until the area cleared out before I started. They don’t swing as much as you might guess, but I didn’t want to stop either, lol! Thanks again for your friendship! 😄💕 Jen 🏔️🏔️🇳🇵🇳🇵
@JenniferLupine Such good videos, really watchable. We will catch the latest one tonight and then go onto the ones we missed! Definitely looked like an experience of a lifetime :) 💕
This was awesome Jennifer, I’ll backtrack and catch the ones I missed later but no way I’m crossing that bridge. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas my friend.
Your footage is stunning! Very crisp, clear picture! The mountains are breathtaking! 😍 Cute mountain goats. Are you saying the pack animals cross the suspension bridges? If so, that even scares me. Big nope. 😬 Your room was nice. Great video! 😃
@@IceBearHalfwayPoint Yep! The pack animals cross the suspension bridges!! It’s the only way up and down the mountains! It was pretty scary to see the one dzo sort of jump and then run through a line of 15-20 people to go ahead across the bridge. We’re guessing the rope broke that was holding his 2 big red propane tanks. Generally the animal handlers wait until there are few to no people to start across with their 15-20+ animals. If trekkers aren’t paying attention or stop it backs things up- I think everyone tries to have no animals and people on the bridges at the same time. When the pack animals reach the bridge to cross it’s hard to make them wait at the landing area, so trekkers have to pay attention / that’s when the guides are a huge help- they are much more tuned in. I’m happy you like the footage and mountains- fortunately we had lots of sunshine! 👌😉🏔️🏔️🏔️ Jen
@ How are you? Ready for Christmas? I’m hoping for a few quiet days - it’s been super rainy and windy here, but if it clears up we’ll hopefully get out for a walk. 👌😄 Do you still have snow?
@JenniferLupine I'm never ready for Christmas. 😆 It runs me over every year. Our snow melted, but more is currently falling. It's very peaceful. I hope you have some peaceful, quiet days!
@@Davids_Mandarin_Musings Hi David! Wasn’t that super cool to video call Steve! Thanks to Sri for having roaming in his phone! That bridge crossing was the most exciting, thanks!! 🏔️🏔️😄
Thanks Rafn! We're so happy to have you follow us on this adventure!! You too- wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Washington State!! Jen
@@JimHayesHiking I know! The porters for the trekkers are carrying about 65-70 pounds. It’s very steep in places and of course there’s the high elevation. Yeah, but I don’t think there’s much gushing there, lol. 👌😄
Wow you did Everest base camp?? The views are incredible, the misty mountains in Tengboche look enchanting. You had a decent room for this remote place. Did sherpas carry your luggage? We had yaks when I did treck around Kailas 👍41
Hi, yes, went all the way to Everest Base Camp! Exciting that you have trekked in the Himalayas too! We didn't have Sherpa people, but we did have Nepali people who were our porters. There were three of us so we had 2 porters. Whew, that is a lot of work for them to carry our clothes and supplies. I loved the views- we had great weather with plenty of sunshine to admire the mountains. Big thanks!! Happy Holidays!! - Jen
Hi-ya, Jennifer What's the memorable journey! The guide is very caring and, giving recommendations and such. I wonder if you ever felt strange headache during your hike up. I meant how your body reacted as you preceded to high ground. I am learning something I have ever experienced in my life in your film Beyond extraordinary.
Isn’t this an amazing adventure! To answer your question, I felt a bit tired and slow at times due to the high elevation, but I didn’t have headaches that people sometimes get from elevation and the thinner air. I did a couple things to get ready like hiking in Utah at high elevation of 10,000’ to 12,000’ for a few weeks. That helped me learn what it feels like and helped me let my body adjust. But that doesn’t last, it goes away in a couple weeks. I also started running, usually 3 times a week and got up to 3 miles each time. I think those things plus drinking lots of water and not gaining too much elevation each day helped. 😉😄👌 It makes me smile that you’re interested, and so supportive, thanks!! 🤗😁💕💕💕
I am so sorry Jennifer I have no time to watch your videos as I have to drive from north of Haugesund to Stavanger with my wife as she must to the hospitale there to have raviation on her breasts every day, the little they left after surgery. I will watch your videos later when she is finniched with the hospital!
I’m so sorry to hear your wife is ill and you’re having to drive her for treatment every day. Please say hello for me and take care. I’m wishing you a happy and healthy 2025! 🎆🎆🎆
Hi friends! Great to have you join me on this trek in the wonderful Himalayas!

Thanks Ervin! The trek was an incredible experience… challenging and so rewarding! Big thanks! 👌🏔️🏔️🏔️ Jen
Wow, amazing sharing, very joyful 👌🏻💕💕💕
Good morning, thank you! I really enjoyed my visit to Nepal! Thanks my friend! 😄🤗🏔️🏔️🏔️
This scenery is so incredible! So peaceful! Wow! That bridge was a bit scary! These communities up on the mountains are breathtaking !
Isn't it special to see how the Nepali people live high the the Himalayas! I really enjoyed seeing their farm fields and animals and how their communities are close together. I think you'd be fine on the suspension bridges, especially after you cross the first one! Big thanks!! Jen
Incredible how those massive white peeks reflect the sun and light things up. Up in the clouds for sure!!!
Don’t they glisten!! I love that we had sunny skies and got up to the Everest View Hotel before the clouds formed that morning. Thanks Dan!! 😎
เป็นหมู่บ้านที่น่าทึ่ง ขอบคุณที่พาเราไป 👍👍👍
Thanks so much my friend!!
Jennifer, stunning conditions for your acclimatisation hike - slowly slowly is the way to do it👍 Loved the cow bell symphony🎶🎶 Well worth the hike to the Everest Hotel for those views of the highest mountains in the world 👍 I thought your guide for the morning was a really cool guy😊 Lovely views coming back down into Namche. Cool to let Steve have some of those cool views👍 Careful timing and you had that big bridge to yourself and those spinning prayer wheels were very cool👍 Another great couple of days of the big adventure.
Hi and thanks so much Gerry! Yes, slow was the way to go, for sure! Sunil was our porter that went with me that morning, yes, he is a great guy. Doesn’t speak much English, and I don’t speak any Nepali, but we communicated just fine. We had some fresh peanuts and a cold drink while we rested on the patio soaking up the breathtaking views. Each day was special with new views and little moments with local people. Great to hear from you, thanks again! Hope you have a fun weekend! 😄 Jen 🏔️🏔️🏔️
Paisajes y vistas maravillosas hacia las grandes cumbres. Allí se disfruta cada minuto de la vida 😀👍.
Gracias! Many thanks my friend! 🇳🇵❤️🇳🇵❤️
This is outstanding section of the Everest Base Camp trek including some of the highest peaks in the world. What a feeling it is to be at an altitude of almost 4000 m, with the majestic peaks of the Himalayas rising above you. This is not just a trek, but a spiritual and visual experience 👍❤️
Thanks so much Vedrana! You’re so right! Trekking in the Himalayas is a spiritual journey- very inspiring… and humbling to see these grand peaks come into view before us! I loved learning the names! 👌
😉❤️🏔️🇳🇵
Wow. Its awesome adventure for sure ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Awesome, thank you! Nepal is a great country, amazing natural beauty! 😄🇳🇵❤️🇳🇵❤️🏔️💚🏔️💚
The iconic Everest View Hotel with the hot ginger tea and some biscuits ~ beautiful memory we made. You have captured the mountains beautifully. You would not like us since we too love taking all those crazy selfies and videos in the middle of the suspension bridges. LOL!
Thanks for the share, my friend!
Hahaha! I wish we could have stayed longer at the Everest View Hotel- it was so sunny and we had amazing views that day out on the porch! I loved seeing Everest of course, and wa very impressed with all the nearby peaks as well. Don’t you just love Ama Dablam! 😉😄 Thanks, Jen 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🏔️🏔️🏔️
Breathtaking views! Loved watching your video. 🙏
@@rimonagale1625 You’re very kind! Many thanks Rimona!! 🙌🙌👌🇳🇵❤️
So amazing! What an adventure! The views are really starting to open up! That Tibetan Monastery was so awesome! What an experience!
@@ChristianPaulPhotography Hi again- thanks for taking the time to watch Christian! The views were great the first few days, but as we climbed above tree line the Wow factor really set in. This Monastery is very culturally significant to the Sherpa people. We had a brief tour, but no cameras were allowed. I hope you can plan a trek here too!! 👌👍🏔️🏔️ Jen 😄
Lovely mountains,wow 🏔️👌🏻
We had great days with sunshine, perfect for admiring the mountains! Thanks my friend! 🏔️🏔️🏔️💚💙
*"Such an epic journey! Days 4 & 5 must be filled with stunning views and incredible experiences. Can't wait to see the adventure unfold in Namche Bazaar and Tengboche! 🏔✨"*
Awesome, thank you!! The Himalayas are wonderful!!
Breathtaking views from hotel wowww 🗻🗻💙🤩
I really enjoy this adventure😢😢 so amazing nature
Great Jennifer 🤩💙🙏🏾
Awesome, thanks Martha!! Wasn't that amazing to see so many peaks from the hotel patio! Thanks for watching and saying hello! Happy Sunday!! :)
Amazing video my friend, have a wonderful day ❤🎄💐💐💐
Thank you! Have a wonderful day! 🎄😊
It was an amazing journey,i have watched on tv..I enjoyed a lot 🤗♥️💕💕💕💕

❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi, thanks for the great emojis!! 🙌🙌🏔️🏔️
Those mountains really are something else.
You're awesome, thanks Steven!!
Never ending, stunning views along this section. More villages and even another suspension bridge. What a great trip Jennifer!
Hi Bryan - I loved the views of Everest and the other mountain peaks - so impressive. I think of it as seeing giants among giants- you’re close enough to Everest that you can’t see the whole mountains! Once we got above tree line we finished with the suspension bridges- they’re not too bad once you’ve crossed a few!! Big thanks! Merry Christmas 😄🎄🎁☃️ Jen
More great views there Jennifer, as you ascended what must have been a rather arduous but inspirational hike up to Tengboche.
Very wise move , waiting for an uncrowded bridge crossing moment, prior to arriving at those very unique water powered, spinning prayer wheels.
I'll bet that your simple little room provided a well deserved rest after another vigorous climb. You're energy and determination is amazing ; I sure wouldn't be able to do that. 🌄
You're very kind, thank you! The whole journey was quite inspirational for me. I loved seeing the prayer flags and prayer rocks and the various monasteries along the way. You are passing through the Nepali people's neighborhoods and farms and religious centers. Yes, the rooms were quite comfortable, especially considering how remote we were in the mountains. Well, if you can't go yourself, you're very welcome to come along with me!! Big thanks! :) - Jen
amazing scene thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and saying hi! 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️
My immediate take is how quiet and peaceful that place is. Might have to plan a trip.
Hi! Haven’t heard from you for awhile! How are you? O yes, the Himalayas are wonderful, I highly recommend a visit. 👌👍🏔️🏔️ Thanks for joining us! 😄 Jen
Beautiful landscape and very interesting your video! Have a nice weekend! ❤
Many thanks! You too- have a great Christmas!! :)
26:00 The place is incredible my dear friend. Lovely. I wish I could be there once.
The views are spectacular, what an amazing experience! I'm outta breath just thinking about the elevation!
@@Dyan_Eckert Lol- yes, the elevation gain is probably the biggest factor in this trek. Adding in a couple days and taking our time made it easier!! Thanks 🙌🙌👌🇳🇵❤️
Beautiful scenery 🎉take care and catch you on the next one 😊
Awesome, thank you! ☀️☀️
A beautiful adventure that will remain in memory forever 🥰 Thank you for sharing 👌🏻
Thanks so much Monika! You’re right, it was very special! Merry Christmas! ☺️🎄🎄🎄
Hi! Fantastic adventure my friend. Excellent video. +👍57
Stay connected & Merry x-mass!
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too! 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️
So many interesting things to see along the way. I thought those spinning prayer wheels were beautiful. You got some great shots of everest before the clouds rolled in. Looks like a nice place to stay.
The villages and views are really interesting, thanks Sarah! It was fun seeing the mountains on the map, then trying to match to which ones we were seeing. I enjoyed seeing the spinning prayer wheels too! You get a real feeling for the culture here as you’re trekking. Thanks! 🙌🙌🇳🇵🇳🇵
Wow. Thats all just wow. !What an experience . Thanks for sharing with us Jennifer. It must have been such a thrill for you. 😊👍😃
Hi Kevin and Ange- O yes, quite a thrill! Challenging, but a great experience every day! Loved seeing Mount Everest!! 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️
Hermosa cordillera
Gracias! Thank you! O yes, these mountains are beautiful! I loved seeing Mount Everest plus all the other tall giants!
Gracias mi amigo! Feliz Navidad!
Nice views!!
Hi, thank you! 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️
Astonishing beauty! I admire your experience 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄
Many thanks! It was wonderful to see the villages and mountains… a special way of life there! Thanks my friend - hope you had a great holiday! Won’t be long now til 2025! 🎆🎆🎆 - Jen
Everywhere you point the camera, grandeur and beauty! So cool that you saw those brown mountain goats too! 😀 Sounds scary that one of the djo got loose and ran across the bridge! I wouldn't want to get bumped on one of those steep trails or bridges.
It was quite a surprise and startling to those on the bridge! Fortunately the bridges are really sturdy and the animals cross every day, most of the time with no issues. Whew, we crossed paths with lots of animals on the main trail, they taught us early to stay to the inside. The animals weren’t interested in us at all and kept moving nicely, unless there was grass to nibble on, lol. I loved seeing the brown mountain goats - I hadn’t noticed them at first and walked right by- good thing Hari knew where to look! The mountains are pristine, quite impressive! Thanks T 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️☀️🇳🇵
Amazing views of the mountain.
Thanks, wasn’t that exciting! Hope you’re staying warm! Happy Saturday! 🏔️🏔️🏔️
Great adventure and beautiful views ❤ enjoyed watching ❤️
Hi Hai Hai- thanks for coming along with us! Happy Holidays!! Jen
You got to see so much cool stuff, Nepal is amazing. Hope you are having a very happy new year
Hi Matt- Nepal sure is a wonderful country! Unmatched natural beauty! 🇳🇵🇳🇵 You too, hope your 2025 is off to a great start!
Incredible moments captured in video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks friends! The Himalayas are wonderful- loved visiting Nepal! Happy Saturday! 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️
Still here watching. Be safe there
Good morning! How are you? Thank you! These mountains are wonderful! 😄🏔️🇳🇵❤️
Brilliant capturing of the views. I am slow mo watching one video at a time and enjoying them.
On this day, I didn’t get to see Mt. Everest from any spot because of cloud cover.
@@tRAVel.wIthRAVI Ah, that was unfortunate- the clouds can get quite thick! These mountains are so tall, so amazing! A great trekking experience! Thanks 😄👌
You had a nice experience. I enjoyed watching beautiful scenery.
Thanks my friend! The Himalayas are breathtaking mountains! It was very special to see them in person. 👌 Have a Happy New Year 2025! All the best from Washington! 😄🎆🎆🎆
Lovely scenery. Wishing you a great upcoming weekend. Must be great having experienced this. Take care and catch you on the next one 😊
Thanks Arnstein! A challenging trek, and well worth the effort! Yes, a wonderful experience. You too, have a great upcoming weekend, and safe travels wherever you may go! 👌😄🌏
You're making us want to go do this. 😂 There are so many pretty views. Love the photo of you and the lady who you bought something from. What a great trek so far! ❤ We're looking forward to the next video! Hotel Everest View was so awesome. 🏔
@@TheWanderingWulfs Hi Rachel- I hope you guys can do this trek! I loved seeing Everest and the other peaks in person. Very inspiring. Plus I loved the small interactions I had with the local Nepali people. I bought a bracelet and water from this woman, she was so happy to visit, so warm and friendly! If you go I’m sure you’ll love it. Can’t promise good weather though - o my, they had 2-3 feet of snow at Base Camp the week before we went. Those trekkers there on those days couldn’t go all the way to EBC. Fortunately we had sunshine!! 👌☀️☀️☀️😄 Jen
Love this place ❤
Big thanks Søren! 🥰💙💙
Wow, Jen. What an experience with stunning views! Merry Christmas 🌲-Jody
Hello Jody- thanks! So great to hear form you! I just saw your video, very sad for you. Please reach out and I'll come see you, we can do something together if you like. You've got all your friends here on YT supporting you and here to help you get through this. You're not alone! Jen
What an amazing adventure and hike you had. I have to admit, I'm a little envious. The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning views in every direction. The views from your Everest Base Camp trek is just incredible, quaint villages, the iconic suspension bridge, and those awe-inspiring vistas of Everest and its towering neighbors. It's something you'll carry with you forever, Jennifer. You're standing among some of the highest peaks in the world. Wishing you a fantastic week ahead and a very Merry Christmas.
Hi and big thanks Gasper! You’re so right, it’s a very special experience to see these giants in person, and see what it’s like for the people who call this place home! The trek is doable if it’s in your heart to visit, challenging, but doable! You do get the feeling that you’re on top of the world! 😄🏔️💚🏔️💚 You too, have a great week and a Happy New Year 2025! - Jen
Wonderful video! 👍👍 Thank you
Thank you Petros! Best wishes from Washington State! - Jen 😄🇳🇵🇳🇵🏔️🏔️
Oh! Such an incredible adventure🤩 love the scenery
Hi and thanks Dee! ☀️☀️
Yeah I think the thinning air would get to me at anything above 10K feet at any pace. The views are outstanding
Hi Max! Yea, I think the elevation gains are the most challenging part of this particular trek! I had practiced hiking at around 10,000’ here in the States and wasn’t sure how it would feel there in the Himalayas. We modified the usual trek a bit to allow a couple more days and it worked for me, whew! We had some pretty amazing weather - loved seeing Everest in person. Big thanks my friend! 👌🏔️🏔️🏔️
Pretty hard to beat those views!! Wow. Top of the world. Great phone call too hahaha. Thanks for sharing this major bucket list hike. Worth the trip. Stunning 360. Take care.
Hey Alex- thanks, Bucket List for sure!! Wasn't that fun when we reached Steve- I told him later that I recorded the call and he's making a cameo appearance in the video!! lol. My friend Sri was paying for roaming and had signal- so we gave it a try- that was amazing. Yep, Top of the World!! Big thanks, Jen!!
What an epic journey, Jen. That is a bucket-list adventure for me for sure. The views of Everest were stunning! I hope you're having a great holiday season!
Thanks Daryl! I hope you can trek to Base Camp too! It truly is worth the effort! We were blessed with sunshine and spectacular views of the Peaks. I learned the names as we were trekking - maybe others already are familiar with them - each one is very special. I can’t believe we were so close to China too! I’d love to go back and explore more. Hope you had a lovely day yesterday - wishing you and your family a very Happy 2025! 😄✨🎆🎆🎆 Jen
We enjoyed watching this amazing Nepal travelling video! Best wishes for all the success coming your way onto your channel!~
Thanks my friend! Your kind words and support means a lot to me! 👌🏔️🏔️🏔️
The Himalayas are beautiful. This is quite an adventure.
Hi Kevin! They sure are pretty, thanks for sharing the journey with us! 🙌🙌
@JenniferLupine you're welcome, Jennifer
Oooohhh it's been a long time... So nice to see Nepal ☺️
O yes, sorry I haven’t visited with you for awhile… busy on the trip, now busy catching up at home, lol! How are you guys? We really enjoyed visiting India and Nepal. Thanks for watching and saying hi!! 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️ Jen
Those snow capped mountains are amazing to see. The views are amazing as you ascend.
Looks like you had a colder day.
How did you go with altitude sickness Jennifer?
those swing bridges are scary.
Loved your little room.
Were there days that your nose just drips because of the cold air?
Loving this adventure Jennifer. 🤠🙏🏼👍🏼♥♥
Hi again! Thankfully I didn't get altitude sickness and didn't need to take medication. Last summer I hiked in Utah as much as possible at 10,000' to 12,000' feet and practiced adapting and what it feels like. It didn't last until Nepal, but I think it helped knowing how to adapt. Plus you have to drink lots of water to help. The suspension bridges are so tall, and at first scary, but once you go, if you focus and it's not too busy, you just go on steady and before long you get to the other side! Yes, most people get a bit of a cough and sometimes runny nose too. You have to bring all your own toilet paper and kleenex, hahaha. Thanks Jospeh!! :) Jen
Beautiful
👍👍
@@ecttreker9816 Thank you! 🏔️🏔️🏔️
@JenniferLupine thank you for giving us the opportunity to come along.
@ You’re very welcome! I’m happy to share- thanks for taking the time to say hello- It’s great to hear from you! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Just wow.
Everything about this trek is wow.
And Everest is getting closer and more magnificent and awe inspiring with every step.
Looks like you were really going for it Jen and getting fitter as you went.
Loved the fact that you went up to the hotel that first morning to get the view of Everest.
Those suspension bridges look to be getting more dodgy each one you go over 😨.
Really enjoyed following along again.
Hi Dave and Sue- thanks so much for following along on the trek! Yep, the suspensions bridges can be a bit challenging when they’re busy with people and the pack animals! Good thing there wasn’t a rush and I could wait before I crossed that time. 😆 Isn’t it breathtaking to see Everest as a trekker! Very humbling - thanks!! 👌😄☀️🏔️🇳🇵❤️ Jen
The place is so stunning.
Thanks DJ! Hope you’re enjoying the holidays! 🙌🙌🏔️🏔️🏔️
The views of the mountains were amazing. It would be neat to spend a few days at that yoga retreat. The mountain villages are so amazing and it would be enjoyable just to wander the streets and explore. It seems so odd to have so many helicopters flying about but I guess it's the easiest way to get around. Lol, love Steve's assessment of Everest! Such an amazing place to hike and see. Wow, the animal getting loose and running on the bridge sounds like a bit of a scary moment - suspension bridges can be a bit frightening even at the best of times. Hope you had a good Christmas, Jennifer!
@@DonnaTaibossigai Good morning Donna- hope you guys had a great Christmas too! The Yoga Retreat is in an amazing location- sure would be beautiful to spend some time there. I loved having blue skies and seeing so many of the tall mountain peaks. Ama Dablam is one of my new favorites. When the weather was clear, it seemed like lots of helicopters were moving goods up to the highest elevation villages. I think most trekkers and climbers go up on foot. I got used to crossing the suspension bridges, but that was a scary, unexpected moment for sure. The animal got spooked out there- thankfully no one got hurt! Great to have you join us, thanks so much for watching! 👌☀️🏔️🇳🇵❤️🤗 Jen
Very beautiful scenery ❤
Have a happy Christmas 🎄 😊🤶🎅🌲🎄
Thank you so much! You too, Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁
Hi, Jen! Watching your hike to the Everest View Hotel, I was a little worried because of your stuffy nose, your raw voice and your deep breathing. But you had recovered quickly and performed very well the second day up to the monastery. The weather was fine and the views were breathtaking. Crossing the bridge with so many people walking in both directions and with the cattle seems to be an adventure. You were patient enough to wait for the right moment.👍
Thanks for sharing and have a great time,
Werner
Thanks so much Werner!! Yes, I did get a stuffy nose and dry throat, thank goodness I got enough to eat and plenty of water and recovered quickly, thanks!! I loved the views up at the Everest View Hotel- if I could go back I would try to stay there a couple nights!! Crossing the bridge when the cattle were there was too exciting :) lol. Thankfully I wasn't in a rush and could wait to cross, whew!! It's always a pleasure to hear from you. I hope you're enjoying the holidays... Steve and I made Christmas cookies tonight and listened to some of our favorite carols. Thanks, Jen :)
@JenniferLupine , sounds great! Have fun!...We receive visits from our children and grandchildren. They will stay with us over the holidays. There will be a bit of a “Griswolds” feeling. ;-)
@ 😆👍❤️💚
The video of the Everest Base Camp trek is incredible! A wonderful experience, with stops at Namche Bazaar and Tengboche, offering stunning views and a real sense of adventure. The journey looks challenging but rewarding.. wow views around... a truly unforgettable experience for you Jen! We hope to do it again one day..😍44
Hi, thanks guys! Yes, as you know, the trek is challenging - but the beauty and experience are well worth the effort! It’s a community experience too… seeing the local people and local porters on the trail as well as visiting with fellow trekkers! I loved seeing Mount Everest!! Big thanks, Jen 😄🏔️🏔️🏔️
@@JenniferLupine Yes!! Definitely unforgettable dear Jen 👍👍Big hug from Croatia
@@OSMOneStepMore Big hug from Washington!!
Definitely cool Jennifer 🏔️👌🏻🤠
Just being amongst these Himalayan giants 🏔️🏔️ must of been almost spiritual !
Cool side hike up the the hotel a day well spent I’d say
Superb stuff 🙏🏼🤠
Very best wishes Simon
Hi Simon- it sure was impressive and spiritual to be among these amazing giants! I loved having time to ponder them with clear views of so many from the Hotel patio. One of my new favorites is Ama Dablam, which we got to see for several days while trekking. The trek is really a wonderful adventure- thanks!! Happy Holidays- Merry Christmas!! Jen 🏔🏔🏔
@ yes Ama is very technical (way above my pay grade lol 😂 🏔️)I bet it was quite amazing to sit and look (sometimes when hiking we don’t look enough (I don’t at least)) but have great memories of rocks and boots 🥾
But to sit and look at the Himalayas with a coffee ☕️🏔️ oh boi 🙏🏼👌🏻🤠
Best wishes to Steven and your self for the holidays 🎄
@ We could see Ama quite well the next few days- and there was even one brand of bottled water that was Ama Dablam water- (we bought water all along the way.) Super cool, you must be much more familiar with all the other peaks there than I am. I didn’t realize there is at least one other Base Camp trek too. 👌🙌🙌
Jen you did amazing, we are so impressed with your achievement and so surprised to know what the journey to base camp looks like. We thought it so strange but great that they had shops like Columbia there in the mountains 😃Bet that loose animal was scary... Loved your hotel room with the view of the monastery. Those bridges are something else though, wow ! Again we watched on the big tv and now commenting on my phone so may haveforgot something we were impressed with ! Fantastic viewing, we loved this 👏👍~ Anna
Thanks so much Anna and Alf- I really appreciate you watching and sharing your enthusiasm for the mountains and people! I was surprised to see the Columbia store too! This village is very busy in April and May- when the big Expeditions are heading up to Base Camp to attempt to summit Everest. This is the last place where they can pick up supplies they may have forgotten or realize they need. There are other trekking routes too, besides going to EBC, that come through this area. O yes, when the dzo red tanks dropped off and he ran through the people to get off the bridge, we all gasped a bit! One has to stay fully alert! Everyone was okay though, thank goodness. Our guide Hari told us not to cross when the animals were there, but I guess you can’t help if they start out behind and follow you. Each time I had to cross, I just waited until the area cleared out before I started. They don’t swing as much as you might guess, but I didn’t want to stop either, lol! Thanks again for your friendship! 😄💕 Jen 🏔️🏔️🇳🇵🇳🇵
@JenniferLupine Such good videos, really watchable. We will catch the latest one tonight and then go onto the ones we missed! Definitely looked like an experience of a lifetime :) 💕
Bonjour Jennifer bonne fête 🥳 de fin d'année bravo la vidéo
Merci! Thank you! Wishing you a Wonderful New Year! 🎆🎆🎆
Quite the beautiful country there😍😍
Hi Age, it sure is! And we had great weather! 🇳🇵🇳🇵❤️❤️
@@JenniferLupine yeah, you had some pretty bright days out there🌞
This was awesome Jennifer, I’ll backtrack and catch the ones I missed later but no way I’m crossing that bridge. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas my friend.
@@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh lol! The suspension bridges are a bit spooky, they don’t sway too much!! 👌
Your footage is stunning! Very crisp, clear picture! The mountains are breathtaking! 😍 Cute mountain goats. Are you saying the pack animals cross the suspension bridges? If so, that even scares me. Big nope. 😬 Your room was nice. Great video! 😃
@@IceBearHalfwayPoint Yep! The pack animals cross the suspension bridges!! It’s the only way up and down the mountains! It was pretty scary to see the one dzo sort of jump and then run through a line of 15-20 people to go ahead across the bridge. We’re guessing the rope broke that was holding his 2 big red propane tanks. Generally the animal handlers wait until there are few to no people to start across with their 15-20+ animals. If trekkers aren’t paying attention or stop it backs things up- I think everyone tries to have no animals and people on the bridges at the same time. When the pack animals reach the bridge to cross it’s hard to make them wait at the landing area, so trekkers have to pay attention / that’s when the guides are a huge help- they are much more tuned in. I’m happy you like the footage and mountains- fortunately we had lots of sunshine! 👌😉🏔️🏔️🏔️ Jen
@JenniferLupine Oh my GOSH! It would be terrifying to cross with them!
@ Yep!! They’re pretty calm animals to let pass you on the land sections, but whew, not on those bridges!!
@ How are you? Ready for Christmas? I’m hoping for a few quiet days - it’s been super rainy and windy here, but if it clears up we’ll hopefully get out for a walk. 👌😄 Do you still have snow?
@JenniferLupine I'm never ready for Christmas. 😆 It runs me over every year. Our snow melted, but more is currently falling. It's very peaceful. I hope you have some peaceful, quiet days!
WOW ~ just crossing the bridges is an adventure super cool you were bale to video call your man thanks for sharing, Jennifer ~ be safe!

It's astounding the amount of weight those skinny porters can carry! Maybe Packs could go there and be one,lol! Another great day of trekking.
@@JimHayesHiking I know! The porters for the trekkers are carrying about 65-70 pounds. It’s very steep in places and of course there’s the high elevation. Yeah, but I don’t think there’s much gushing there, lol. 👌😄
Wow you did Everest base camp?? The views are incredible, the misty mountains in Tengboche look enchanting. You had a decent room for this remote place. Did sherpas carry your luggage? We had yaks when I did treck around Kailas 👍41
Hi, yes, went all the way to Everest Base Camp! Exciting that you have trekked in the Himalayas too! We didn't have Sherpa people, but we did have Nepali people who were our porters. There were three of us so we had 2 porters. Whew, that is a lot of work for them to carry our clothes and supplies. I loved the views- we had great weather with plenty of sunshine to admire the mountains. Big thanks!! Happy Holidays!! - Jen

Hi-ya, Jennifer
What's the memorable journey!
The guide is very caring and, giving recommendations and such.
I wonder if you ever felt strange headache during your hike up.
I meant how your body reacted as you preceded to high ground.
I am learning something I have ever experienced in my life in your film
Beyond extraordinary.
Isn’t this an amazing adventure! To answer your question, I felt a bit tired and slow at times due to the high elevation, but I didn’t have headaches that people sometimes get from elevation and the thinner air. I did a couple things to get ready like hiking in Utah at high elevation of 10,000’ to 12,000’ for a few weeks. That helped me learn what it feels like and helped me let my body adjust. But that doesn’t last, it goes away in a couple weeks. I also started running, usually 3 times a week and got up to 3 miles each time. I think those things plus drinking lots of water and not gaining too much elevation each day helped. 😉😄👌 It makes me smile that you’re interested, and so supportive, thanks!! 🤗😁💕💕💕
I am so sorry Jennifer I have no time to watch your videos as I have to drive from north of Haugesund to Stavanger with my wife as she must to the hospitale there to have raviation on her breasts every day, the little they left after surgery. I will watch your videos later when she is finniched with the hospital!
I’m so sorry to hear your wife is ill and you’re having to drive her for treatment every day. Please say hello for me and take care. I’m wishing you a happy and healthy 2025! 🎆🎆🎆
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Woohoo! Thanks! 🏔️🏔️🏔️☀️☀️☀️
